Memorandum

To:	Gail Arceneaux
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	A98A1157 . Willie G. Moore v. The State
Date:	June 3, 1998

Please hang on to this Motion for Substitution of Counsel and Motion to Dismiss Appeal. Mr. Moore is represented by counsel, however, he is raising the claim of ineffective assistance of counsel which will most likely necessitate a remand at the trial court.

If Bob DeMetz agrees that this is the appropriate remedy, we will need to docket his motion. He sent a similar motion yesterday in which Bob DeMetz now has. After Bob checks the record and determines that this issue has not yet been addressed by the trial court, most likely we will remand. I shall send a copy of the Court's order along with a copy of Mr. Moore's pleadings to Mr. William Hicks, the attorney representing Mr. Moore. I shall call Mr. Hicks as well. If Mr. Hicks wants to file a Motion for Reconsideration in the matter he may do so. Ordinarily we would not receive a pleading from a defendant who is represented by counsel, but in discussing this matter with Bob DeMetz , he feels it appropriate for the Court to look at the matter and remand, if necessary, on the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel.

Thank you.
